(Powerstones pWEASe)
"Anyway, did you guys witness something related to a future?" Sasuke asked. He was not shocked anymore.
Uchihas don't get shocked for too long.
"Well, not anything relevant, but we saw something incredible from the past," Sora said while looking at Shikamaru.
The latter just shrugged.
It's not anything that would cause some butterfly effect.
Plus, Kakashi was a high-ranking Jounin of the village.
So, him knowing is fine.
"Oh, what did you guys witness? Explain from the beginning then," Kakashi was eager to hear about it if it's safe for them to hear it.
He was expecting them to see something like Sasuke's daughter or something.
Even worse, Kakashi himself has kids in that future.
It seems Kakashi's wild imaginations are not going to come to fruition.
"Well, we somehow got into a dimension, or a plane? where time is not constant," Sora tried to explain, but seeing both of the people were confused, he thought of another way to explain.
Don't ask him how he can see Kakashi and Sasuke are confused even without having any obvious changes in their facial expressions.
"Let me take over," Shikamaru got up after finishing his food and took a branch.
"You guys see this point, right?" Shikamaru said to everyone while making a point on the dirt with the branch.
"This line is one-dimensional, that is, it can either go forward or backwards, possibly infinitely," Shikamaru paused to look at others to see if they were following along.
"Now, if we extend this infinite line in a direction perpendicular to this, we would get a 2-dimensional plane."
"Right," Kakashi already understood what Sora's earlier statement meant.
"We could say that a plane comprises infinite lines, all placed together, contributing to 2-Dimensional."
"Similarly, if I extend this plane, perpendicular to its surface or normally, I would get the 3rd Dimension, which comprises infinite planes, each plane having a location given by the 3rd dimension, which let's say is height." Sasuke also got what Shikamaru was trying to convey.
"Now, similarly infinite 3D space would contribute to the Fourth-dimensional, with possibly time giving us a point at any location,"
Shikamaru said and lay down on the ground... no, bed he summoned from his storage scroll.
"So, you guys were at a plane which is similar to being in the 4th dimension," Kakashi mused. He had heard about such a thing for the first time.
"Yeah, we saw a lot of things. We even saw an advanced human civilization technologically which met its end due to its own creation. Their last creation was to create an orb which would supposedly help them break into another world as they claimed their own world is a fabrication of somebody's," Sora said in one breath somehow.
Uzumaki genes.
"Is that so? The idea of our world being a fabrication is thought-provoking," Kakashi mused while taking out his favourite book.
"Wait, that guy said their world, not ours," Ino intercepted and jumped into the conversation.
"Why do you guys think that advanced civilization and our world are different? That civilization could have formed and destroyed itself either in the far past or in the far future. Who knows how many times humans have gone extinct and formed again? Heck, we don't even know if the previous creatures could be classified as humans or not," Kakashi's statement made everybody stop in their tracks.
This got abstracted very quickly.
Well, Shikamaru had already thought about this and Sora had given the line of thought some time, so he didn't have any existential crisis.
"Wait, so we could be somebody else's creation like fiction?" Ino said while barely maintaining her facade.
Sasuke, who was pondering, suddenly said, "...People live their lives bound by what they accept as correct and true… that is how they define reality. But what does it mean to be correct or true? Merely vague concepts… their reality may all be an illusion."
"Woah, that's deep. Didn't think you to be a ponderer, Sasuke," Sora commented.
"Yeah, me neither," Sasuke absentmindedly said. 'Where did I hear this? I feel like I have heard the exact set of words somewhere, but can't remember when. It's the same feeling when I feel like I had a bad dream, but don't remember its contents.'
"Anyway, let's not ponder about it too much. Who knows whether what that person said could be true or not? What happened to the orb?" Kakashi changed the topic after reading the room.
"Yeah, we tried Ino's shadow clone's mind possession, as we weren't able to interact directly with the plane. She possessed the body of Sasera," Sora pointed at the cat who was looking at Sasuke intensely for some reason.
"Is that so? Let me guess, this stupid cat ate that orb and somehow gained space-time powers," Sasuke said in a joking tone, trying to distract himself from his earlier thoughts.
"What?" Everyone stared at him. Do they think that Uchihas can't make jokes or something? They are very different from stuck-up Hyugas, 'talk about being rude,' Sasuke deadpanned.
"You guessed correctly, and we didn't say anything about Uchihas not being able to joke," Sora corrected him from his misunderstanding.
"Huh." 'Did I say that out loud?' Sasuke pondered while looking at the cat. No wonder his MS was acting up, it made sense.
"I see, then what happened next?" It seems only Kakashi was unfazed.
Talk about perverted experienced ninjas and their instincts.
"Well, time changed again, and we found ourselves... I don't know how many years?"
"150 years, I think. Would need to check. We saw my clan's legendary Clan Head Kasumi Yamanaka."
"Oh, is that so? How strong was she?" Kakashi knew that jutsu was not as refined at that time, so he was curious.
"Well, I would say Elite-jounin to Low S-rank," Sora's words made Kakashi's eyes widen.
"How old was she?" He promptly asked, internally guessing her age to be '30'.
"19," Ino's answer made Kakashi almost drop his book.
"Tell me more about your encounter."
"Well, some things happened. We saw her killing a Jounin and chunins by using Mind Transfer from a branch. By the time she landed, the enemy ninjas were already killed. She looked cool." Even Sasuke was impressed; he didn't think that Yamanakas could be cool.
He can't be blamed when the only Yamanaka he properly knows is a fangirl and the worst fangirl of his.
"Well, I sent a shadow clone after her. Sasera had found us, making us shift in that time physically. I was in her office, so she used Shadow Possession and identified me as a Uzumaki instantly. I was barely able to dispel Shadow Clone Jutsu before she used Mind Transfer," Sora shivered at the memory.
He was almost violated mentally.
"Oh, I guess you guys were lucky that it was a shadow clone. I don't think you would have escaped if your physical body was there," Kakashi said from experience, for some reason recalling the memory of facing Orochimaru's killing intent when he was a kid.
"She was also a Nara too? Damn, I guess, in the hands of a prodigy, kekkei genkais are deadly," Sasuke commented while recalling how Itachi was a prodigy.
Even if Itachi hadn't had Sharingan, he would have been at least on the level of Kakashi's genius.
"Well, we talked there only, and she found us. Due to her previous route to her base being a long route, she even overheard our conversation and deduced that we were from the future. I think her intelligence was comparable to Shikamaru's."
"Damn, I guess a motivated Nara is really deadly," Kakashi didn't really want to fight her, if she was as smart as Shikamaru and a prodigy as these guys were saying.
"Not only that, she didn't seem keen on hurting us, so we tried to escape, but after seeing my body flicker, she instantly improved her own body flicker, which increased her speed by another factor. Heck, I might not be able to keep up with her with my top speed."
This made Sasuke and Kakashi's eyes widen.
Sora's speed is high in terms of Jounin level. Heck, not even an Elite Jounin can claim to be faster than him unless they are specializing in speed.
"Not only that, did you know what happened when I threw a water bullet at her? She fucking caught it with her hand and threw it back at me. Her chakra control was ridiculous," Sora was ranting at this point.
Sasuke and Kakashi were shocked as reaching such levels of chakra control was ridiculous. Heck, even theoretically it doesn't sound plausible.
'The only person I know who has good chakra control talent is Tsunade-sama. She had said that she could do something similar but not in a combat situation. Maybe Sakura might be able to do that at her peak,' Kakashi pondered about his students.
It seems that he had got a golden package of talents.
The only problem for the kids seems to be that their sensei are slackers.

"Damn, I didn't know that was possible," Sasuke managed to say after a few moments.
It seems everyone saying he was a prodigy was really ignorant.
Seeing such monsters exist makes him feel like he doesn't amount to anything.
His ego was really taking a hit.
"Not only that, I used a Rasengan on her, but do you know what happened?" This statement made both of them tense in anticipation.
They were already having goosebumps, seemingly thinking that they were going to hear something incredible.
"Nee-chan fucking copied my jutsu right there and even did it better than me, gave me pointers," Sora said.
Kakashi and Sasuke seem to have been left speechless.
"Don't curse, who taught you that?" Ino bonked him on the head.
"I don't remember, probably subconsciously picked it up while walking on the street," Sora rubbed his head where he was hit.
"Damn, did you witness something else too? You should say that quickly," Kakashi urged him to continue. He picked up his book which he had dropped sometime during the conversation.
Nobody's egos were hurt today...
They were massacred.
"Nah, nothing much. After leaving, she did promise that she would erase or seal the memories of people who deduced we were from the future as she went into the Ino-Shika-Cho clan."
"I see," Kakashi dusted off dirt from his favourite book.
"Oh, I forgot to mention, but Nee-chan was beautiful, like the most beautiful person I have seen, possibly even the coolest person I have seen," Sora said.
"Yeah, that's a complete package," Kakashi deadpanned. It seems like she has everything, like Sage of Six Path's favourite child or something.
'Then again, in research, it has been said that women who are at high combat prowess, like Jounin, seem to be more beautiful. Heck, it's true for men too. Guess chakra enhances that factor as well,' Kakashi shrugged.
"Anyway, are you guys ready to explore this place? We are on a time crunch actually, need to meet somebody in the Land of Wave tomorrow," Kakashi said while packing up things.
"Fine, we are also busy, you know. We would be going to Wave next too, you guys could travel with us," Sora also said that they were busy, despite having no work.
"So, where do we start?" Shikamaru asked.
"Let's see the temples. I was told by an Uzumaki to explore these properly if we want to find something interesting," Kakashi said while heading towards the central temple.
"Wait, who told you that? Also, do you think I am a Uzumaki?" Sora also started walking.
"Well, she is long dead. There's a high chance for you to be an Uzumaki. Anyway, she isn't related to you, I am definitely sure about that," Kakashi intentionally terminated the topic before he could question more.
He doesn't want to talk about old mental scars.
"Oh, sorry for your loss, I guess," Sora said, and the conversation died there.
"Why do you think I care about her death?" Kakashi raised an eyebrow.
"Your tone says that. On how you terminated the topic, you probably don't want to elaborate on it, plus, I guess it's a gut feeling."
"I see."
"How interesting," Shikamaru mused.
"What's interesting?" Sasuke asked.
"Everything is finally making sense," Shikamaru cryptically said.
"Oh, I forgot to mention this, but Kasumi Nee-chan said that Rasengan was probably created by inspiration from a tailed beast. What do you think about that? You were the Fourth's student, so you should know about this, right?"
Kakashi almost stumbled. "Right, it's true. It was inspired by Bijudama. That lady sure is scary. Good that she is not present in this era; the world wouldn't be able to handle her."
"Really?" Sora raised his eyebrow.
"Anyway, we are here. Now what?" Kakashi said while looking at the seals.
"Guess we have to decrypt them," Shikamaru sighed while crouching on the ground and inspecting the lower part of the door.
Sora summoned a kunai and cut his finger slightly, such that blood came out. He then threw the drops of blood on the door.
"What are you doing? Do you really think that it would open by Uzumaki blood? I don't think it is that simple even if you are an Uzumaki." Sasuke shook his head.
Why did all Uzumakis have to try to be flashy or dramatic?
CREAK
"See, it opened. I guess I am really a Uzumaki," Sora grinned.
Everyone was struck speechless at that.
Sora formed a shadow clone and let it enter first.
"Don't worry, your sacrifice won't be in vain," he said to the clone who went inside, ignoring the main's childish antics.
"You don't really have to assume that it would get dispelled. Maybe there are no traps inside," Ino suggested, but even she didn't believe her own words.
"Oh, it already exploded. All the walls closed up on him, with pointed blades sticking out from them," Sora said after a few seconds.
"Good grief, I don't think we would be able to complete this soon. Did you see any seals?" Kakashi asked, wondering whether he had to delay his appointment or not.
"Yeah, here's the seal we need to decipher. I guess we need to create another seal that would interact with it from far away, as this seal was on the wall," Sora quickly drew what he remembered of the seal.
After many clones' deaths and seals getting formed.
"I didn't know that all temples are interconnected in the basement," Ino commented.
She was getting bored along with Choji and Sasuke.
They were just looking at the other three who were saying some cryptic words very frequently that were going above their heads.
"Yes, saves us the trouble of looking at all temples. Lucky us," Kakashi commented.
"This should be the final room, as that message in the scroll said. What do you think about this being a trap too?" Sora asked the other two.
"Highly likely," Shikamaru commented.
"Fine," Sora formed another shadow clone who reluctantly went to the room to his death.
After a few minutes.
"Do you still feel the chakra link with your shadow clone? There's a chance for some seals to have countermeasures against the shadow clone's memory transfer or something," Shikamaru cautioned.
"Yeah, I still feel my clone present. I guess we should wait for a minute or two before I send another shadow clone in."
A few more minutes.
"Oh, finally, he was actually trying to decipher the last seal. There are no traps, but another gate behind this gate."
"Did it succeed?" Shikamaru asked while entering the door.
"Nah, it seems impossible. That's some other level of shit. Maybe a grandmaster would have some chance to solve it," Sora shook his head.
"Ouch, I'm sorry," Sora rubbed his bonked head which was wordlessly bonked by Ino.
"Anyway, we'll give it one hour. If we understand something, then we continue, or we give up. Form some shadow clones to think," Shikamaru said.
Kakashi and Sora formed clones.
One hour later.
"Yup, no clue," Shikamaru sighed.
"Maybe you should try throwing your blood on it?" Kakashi suggested, and Sora again formed a cut on his finger at the same place.
It has already healed.
"Take this and open!," Sora put some drops of his blood on the door and paused dramatically.
"Ah, I guess it won't work," Sora was really not embarrassed.
Neither did his face show any.
"Oh, it's opening," Sora suddenly said.
Sora made a shadow clone and let it check.
"Yup, this is safe. This should be a dead end, our end goal I think," Sora urged everybody to follow him.
"This... is empty," Ino lamented.
"I was expecting heaps of food or something," Choji sighed in disappointment.
"Oh, something is written here. Let me clean up the dust," Sora said while using a gale palm to blow up all the dust.
Everyone sneezed except for Kakashi.
It seems there is some practical benefit to wearing a mask other than acting mysterious.
On the wall, words of the text were written with red ink or paint:
Kushina Uzumaki was here!
Shikamaru sighed.
"Wait, did this person empty all the things when she came?" Ino said in horror.
Their hours of being idle seemed to have been wasted.
"Damn, do you know her or have heard of her?" Sora asked Kakashi.
Kakashi's visible eye twitched. "She was the only one who told me to come here. Guess I got pranked."
Everyone's eyes widened. "Actually, when did she tell you to visit this place?"
"Well, let's see, she told me to visit it when I am at least good with seals and at least a Jounin. Hmm, she told me this 15 years ago from now," Kakashi nodded at himself.
"Woah, even after being dead, she pranked you," Sora was impressed and annoyed at his 'senior'.
"She was a menace. She has done even worse things. Where do you think I learned to annoy people?" Kakashi smirked.
